How to block text messages whilst keeping in-game chat working?

I would appreciate if anyone can tell me how to do this:

I want to block all incoming text messages, but I still want in-game chat to work.

I have looked at the 'Online Safety' settings, and there is an option to block all incoming Voice & Text. This, however, is not good because with this enabled I cannot hear people in-game.

Is there a way on Xbox Live to blocl incoming text messages from EVERYONE, whilst still being able to hear all people in game?

Thanks in advance,

Kim.

I don't believe you can block them but you can appear 'busy' which means no notifications pop up on your screen

If you press the Guide button, and then go to the far right and then choose "Preference", you will be able to change your status to Busy or Away which will block incoming messages.

You will still be able to hear and talk in-game.

Thanks for your answers. I'll give them setting to 'Busy' a try.
